The conserved total angular momentum is , and the black-hole spin magnitude isThe initial hole is noncollinear with the total vector, so persistent positive alignment torque leads to the positive direction. The final vectors areThe final disk magnitude is , smaller than its initial magnitude one, and its direction is parallel to the hole. Their sum remains .
